Guestbook comments from the owner

Magnificent view and great place for vacation!!! It was much more than we expected. The marvelous view, very neat and well furnished house, beautiful bath set, ........were really impressive. Also many thanks for the warm hospitality of Mr. & Mrs. CHEN who had made our trip the most pleasurable. We would say it was the most enjoyable trip we have ever had. Our kids and friends who traveled with us all agreed. We cannot wait to plan for our next trip to Honolulu and stay in the beautiful house again.

Wonderful place to stay while visiting Oahu

We have visited Hawaii every year since 2000 for two weeks in late September/early October. The previous six years we had stayed at the Embassy Suites and had no issues... but this year we tried something different and the difference is night and day. Instead of navigating Waikiki traffic you drive thru lush tropical surroundings to arrive at the 'mansion'. The owner literally met us at the gate and the next two weeks were 'heaven'. Wonderful place to stay and we have already reserved two weeks for our next getaway in 2015. Perfect for that first trip to Hawaii or if you are a many time returning visitor.

Simply amazing!

The East Wing is amazing. Spacious, immaculate, just a short drive down the hill into town, incredible view overlooking Honolulu. This unit surpassed our expectations. We will definitely stay here again on a future vacation and recommend to anyone visiting Oahu. Ivan is a great host and made sure we had everything we needed. He gave us great information about hiking and different sites to see. Definitely a 5 star.

Coming back home

That was our 8 times of stay in this condo(maybe). The amazing view and owner of this condo could always welcome us and we feel we came back to Hawaii again. The room is huge like a penthouse size of room, clean and tidy. Also easy access to highway for the beach and restaurant. The parking lot is just beside of house and easy to carry a travel baggages and shopping bags. And easy to find out the condo from the airplane on the way back to Japan.

picture postcard views!

This apartment is up on the side of a mountain overlooking the entire city of Honolulu and the ocean beyond. Sunsets are spectacular; at night, the lights of the city twinkle beautifully below and the stars above.

The owner is a most hospitable host, and keeps the accommodation and environs spotless. The apartment is in a huge mansion, which was solidly and beautifully built to reflect the gracious living of Hawaii in the latter 20th century. It is very private and quiet.

This apartment is for those who want to be above the hustle and bustle of Waikiki, and prefer to experience nature on winding roads and trails in the woods and the culture and cuisines of the island over lying on a beach. (The beaches are accessible by a 15 minute

drive.)

This apartment was perfect for us as a couple seeking a beautiful, quiet place that is easily accessible to the excitement of the city. (You do need to have a car for transportation.) We will certainly return!

PARADISO !!!!

We had a wonderful stay !! Ivan is the perfect owner , He is present when you need but He respect your privacy !!! The location is quiet and calm but with an unforgetable panorama , very very romantic. The suite has everithink you need , and may be more then !!!!

To rent a car is mandatory !!! Don't forget to visit Kailua and Northshore.

In Waikiki our preferite restaurant was The Cheesecake Factory ....and the breakfast in the patio .........so beatiful !!!!

The photos reflect the location, and I recommend this property.

Thanks Ivan for all , for us is a long fly (26 Hours) but we'll come back !!!!!

Ciao!!!!
